DIY: Minimum Area Rectangle
Explore how to determine the smallest rectangle area from a set of 2D points with sides parallel to the axes. Learn to implement efficient algorithms that return zero if no rectangle exists. This lesson helps you understand spatial reasoning and coding techniques to solve geometric problems typical in coding interviews.

Problem statement
Given an array of points in the X-Y plane points, where points[i] = [xi, yi], you have to return the minimum area of a rectangle formed from these points, with sides parallel to the X and Y axes. If there is no such rectangle that can be formed, you ...
